DVD Reviews of Batman Begins [HD DVD]

DVD Review: Batman Begins
Summary: 5 Stars

This being my "First" Blu-ray purchase, and viewing, very much complimented the movie. "Christian Bale~Is~The Dark Knight!!"

The television series entertained, as the early movies pacified my anticipation of bringing my favorite comic book hero to life. And, along came "Frank Miller", giving "The Dark Knight" a Reality, and Life, we could only Imagine, and Respect. A role, that seems to have been written for Christian Bale. By far, the Best "Dark Knight" Batman.
And with a superb supporting cast; featuring:

Michael Caine, who does an excellent portrayal of Alfred, who is more than "The Butler".

Morgan Freeman, as Lucius Fox, a character who seems to be derived from the "Batman Beyond" animated series. An essential element, to "The Batman's" creditability.

Liam Neeson, as Henri Ducard, indisputable Mentor? Nemesis?

In my opinion... So long as this; "Dark Knight~Batman" Franchise, stays on track, not swaying to the whims of the minority of fanfare that urges "The Batman", as its predecessors (movie series), resorting to comic relief. But, remain within the parameters of Frank Miller's Ideal Characterization. "The Dark Knight~Batman" will survive.

DVD Review: Review for "Batman Begins"
Summary: 5 Stars

With the winning combination of Chris Nolan and Christian Bale, we, the fans of Batman, can now say that we have the best portrayal of the character when both see Bruce Wayne and Batman. When we compare Michael Keaton's portrayal as opposed to Christian Bale, Keaton was not able to bring out as many aspects of Bruce Wayne that Bale did. The same can also be said when fans want to comare the 2 actors portrayal of Batman. Many thanks to Chris Nolan for resurrecting and saving The Batman Legacy after the humiliation it suffered with Joel Schumacher!!

DVD Review: FANTASTIC movie and gift
Summary: 5 Stars

This gift set was packed with total awesome-ness. There was the movie, obviously, then a second disc that had tons of documentaries on the production of the film and tidbits about the different characters, gadgets, etc. There's some neat mini movie posters and a batman jump drive. The movie money is useless only because i bought this after The Dark Knight (even MORE spectacular) was long out of theaters.
Batman Begins is one of those movies that captivates your attention. I was NOT a Batman fan at all prior to these movies. I thought it was extremely lame and only by some coaxing on my brother's part did i even bother to watch it.
Let me tell you that the movie blew my socks off from start to finish.
It's a great movie, and Batman's now my FAVORITE super hero.
Chris Nolan did a great job putting this film together, and has the BEST choice of actors. The supporting actors are great. They've got Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. What more could you ask for??
The movie, itself is spectacular, and the gift set is really cool.

Description of Batman Begins [HD DVD]

Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.

Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand?

Co-written by the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is a welcome return to the grim and gritty version of the Dark Knight, owing a great debt to the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't have the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, like most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but with some of the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought to the character. Michael Caine provides much of the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, and as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in her first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young police officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy as the vile Jonathan Crane. --David Horiuchi
